Health and fitness are things many of us may take for granted at times but as host Dana Michelle says to open the show, "there's nothing like a pandemic to remind us  all to prioritize our health."  Dana has jumpstarted her own journey to a healthier, more fit lifestyle by joining the UFC Gym in Naperville.  In this episode, she meets with owners of the gym Ricard Lamas and Matt Kuschert to talk about how their experience with mixed martial arts (MMA) lead them to open the local facility.

"Me being a fighter, I can't fight til I'm 65 , though I'd like to if I could.  Father time just won't allow that to happen," says Lamas.  "The next step is using the brand recognition that I've created and the sport of MMA and transfer that into a business that can help sustain my family and Matt's family from here on out."
